Setting up event ticket sales in 2026: steps, fees and the all-in price rule
The event feature is still part of every Yclas site. Here are the exact steps for the current version:
- Create a date custom field named
eventdatein your admin panel. The name matters: the event features switch on only when a field with this name exists. After that, listings with a past event date stop showing, visitors can sort listings by event date, and a monthly calendar of upcoming events appears on your site (at/calendar.htmlon English-language sites). - Turn on a way for sellers to get paid. The Buy Now button works when PayPal seller payments, Stripe Connect or Escrow.com payments are enabled. Buyers who are not logged in go through guest checkout.
- Turn on stock control in the Payment settings and set each listing's stock to the number of tickets. When stock reaches zero, the listing can no longer be bought, so you don't oversell.
- Optional: take a commission. With Stripe Connect you can set an application fee (a percentage, a fixed amount, or both) that is deducted from each sale before the seller is paid.
How the fees compare with dedicated ticketing platforms
| Platform | Platform fee per paid ticket | Payment processing |
|---|---|---|
| Eventbrite (US) | 3.7% + $1.79 service fee | 2.9% per order |
| Ticket Tailor | £0.60 pay-as-you-go (from £0.22 with prepaid credits), plus VAT, as listed on its UK pricing page | Charged separately by Stripe, PayPal or Square |
| Your own classifieds site | None, unless you set a Stripe Connect fee | Your PayPal, Stripe or Escrow.com rates |
Sources: Eventbrite organizer pricing and Ticket Tailor pricing, checked October 2026. On a $25 ticket, Eventbrite's service fee alone is about $2.72, which buyers pay by default. That gap is one reason niche communities run their own event listings. The market is also changing: Eventbrite is now owned by Bending Spoons, whose website lists it as "Acquired March 2026".
Show the full price (US rule since May 2025)
The FTC's Rule on Unfair or Deceptive Fees has applied to live-event tickets since 12 May 2025. The price you advertise must be the total price, including every mandatory fee the seller knows about upfront, such as booking or service fees, and it must be shown more prominently than other pricing information. Only taxes and other government charges, shipping and optional extras the buyer chooses can be left out, and they must be shown before the buyer is asked to pay. Businesses that break the rule can be ordered to change their practices, refund consumers and pay civil penalties. In practice: if sellers on your site add a booking fee, ask them to include it in the listing price. A Stripe Connect commission comes out of the seller's payout, so it does not raise the price the buyer sees.
